Deviantart is a great place for artists of all skill levels to make some money. Here are the steps to a flawless commission, one of the best ways to make money.

Steps

1

Decide what you will sell. Pick something that you can actually do and that you would want to buy. Don't assume that your crappy drawings will sell for five bucks a piece just because you made them.

2

Wait a little while. A three week old account selling commissions might be a little suspicious.

3

Post some art. Make sure to display everything that you are going to sell with plenty of examples.

4

Create a set of rules. This is a list of things that you will do, won't do, and other rules for people to follow.

5

Decide how much you want to sell your art for. Your prices should start low, but grow with your popularity. You can sell it for real money through paypal, or Deviantart points. Here's a calculator to tell you how much your points are actually worth:[1]

When you finally get someone who wants to buy a commission from you, get as much information from the person as possible. You don't want to make mistakes.
